I actually brought this exact meme up in a course on the Internet and politics this semester. I think I summed it up as "we're entering an age where imgur memes are playing a role in elections. May God help us all."

I like that the example sentences are just talking about sarcasm and do nothing to exemplify sarcasm.

The actress struggled long after the movie looking for roles. She's come out in interviews before complaining about how she's typecasted into one role (the Vasquez one) and that no matter what movie she plays a badass in she also inevitably dies. Hell, if the macro maker looked at her filmography at all they'd see she was actually struggling to get any named roles.

"To lose and not replenish"? Eating/drinking isn't enough to replenish? Or should any woman having a period be given a transfusion equaling the amount of blood lost?

Also a transfusion of eggs and uterine lining and mucus and junk I guess, gotta keep those stores up
I mean these are likely all dumb trolling attempts, but at the same time can't help but get the impression that they think menstruation is literally some wound opening and bleeding til it scabs over. And then I guess pregnancy is just a baby plugging the wound like a fleshy mega-tampon?

STRAIGHT TROPIN'

Hidden anti-SJW in Hearthstone? Card name: Black Knight

So as you all know, Hearthstone is one of the most popular video games in the world atm, and as a medium can be considered mainstream because of it.

They have a card called The Black Knight in this game:


Now let me explain why this card is so anti-SJW. Not only is it called the black knight, but it's effect is to instantly kill a minion that protects others when it is played. These 'taunt' minions that protect others have a big shield around them to signify this. So basically he kills white knights.

Now of course there are numerous ways to think about this in another way, and because the game developer isn't stupid they would always support pro-left views in public. But I love how a little RP always leaks through.
